They can't go beyond 8 teams, and really that is too many unless the regular season is cut by an OOC game or 2, which is why 6 teams would be better to limit the risk of injuries. You can't put undue risk on young players, not to mention, they are attending school; they're not professionals. ... This is the most objective, impartial way of determining who gets into the playoffs and ultimately who wins the national championship - something the players who I know want to happen - and has nothing to do with money. It's a way to get away from all of that.

I thought the playoff idea was stupid to begin with. Adding the "Committee" instead of using the existing BCS formula just compounded the stupidity.

Having the major conference champions plus a couple of wild cards in the playoffs is the fairest method. It is about as objective of a method as possible. I don't have a problem with using the BCS formula to rank the teams in the playoffs & the wild card teams.

I don't like it now, I won't like it in the future and I think it will have an overall negative effect on college football.

How is having the most logical, unbiased method of determining the best team in NCAA football bad for the game? It is the least flawed, most black & white, logical system. Win your conference, go to the playoffs. Use the BCS formula for rankings & picking "wild card" teams. Play head-to-head until you lose, or not. Isn't that the huge gripe? Teams not being judged on the field? Well, they are, literally, with a legitimate playoff system.

But it's what the people wanted...I guess.

Most fans and players of any sport want an objective, unbiased, fair, unflawed method of deciding "the best." In most sports, that means going head-to-head as much as possible, and there is some form of playoff system in pretty much every sport, professional, collegiate, & high school, except NCAA Division 1A football. Funny thing is, out of all of those sports & divisions who have a playoff system, none of them seem to be having an issue with it. The only one without a legitimate playoff system is the only one having problems.
